Psychology Citation

The field of Psychology uses APA citation. In fact, APA is an initialism for the American Psychological Association. However, your instructor may give you an option to choose either APA or MLA. Check your syllabus if you are unsure. Once you choose one style, it is important you remain consistent throughout your paper. The Library can help you with citation! Contact us with questions about citation, formatting, and using information responsibly.
